The crisis of my passion being erased. | A story about throwing my raw manuscript at an AI army to see 'what gets deleted'.

The article I published the other day, “A family member who started generating images”, was read by a surprisingly large number of people! Thank you so much. I didn't show the actual text of the article to my family, but when I showed them the many warm comments you all left, the person who wrote it seemed happy and was all fluffy (lol).
Regarding the copyright-heavy issue I left as a challenge, I've corrected that and put it at the bottom of this article. It feels a bit plain after the renewal since having various small items embedded in the image made it more exciting and surprising, but for those of you who are good at filling in the blanks in your brain, please take a look. Like, hmm, maybe there was something here, right?

Now, that sentence I wrote at the beginning of the article about the hoodie boy growing up into a beautiful young man. That was 100% pure “raw manuscript” written entirely on impulse.

I usually brag about how “I use AI to build the framework of an article, but the most important thing is the handmade hamburger approach of adding back my own passion (the meat) at the end!” but... this time, a certain curiosity suddenly came to me.

“If I throw this raw manuscript of mine, which is 100% impulse, at the AIs and just tell them to ‘clean it up nicely,’ what kind of result will they produce?”

The participating players are as follows. The familiar AI musketeers who are always forced to deal with my “fumbling mambo” and have completely learned the MeiMei syntax.
・ChatGPT (Chappy)
・Gemini
・NotebookLM (Director)

And!
Thinking that “the usual members might have learned too much and there won't be any difference,” this time I'm also throwing in a “dark horse, Copilot (Copa-chan)” who doesn't get much screen time in our house and has almost zero learning about me, as a special entry!

How will the intense “habits” and differences in learning levels of each AI cook (smooth out) my chaotic writing?

Will my passion survive!? The terrifying yet hilarious “Merciless Editing Tournament (Roomba Tournament)” by the AIs... is about to begin!

The rules for this time

🎶Chappy Result ① Learning included

Today, a shocking fact was discovered.
My family had started generating images with Chappy.

Moreover, they used the “hoodie boy” material I gave them for point-earning (TikTokLight) and built a hoodie boy world on their own (?!).
……Just for themselves, though.

The result is just amazing. I really want to post it. I want to post it, but
their favorite games are packed into the world, so I decided to give up on posting it here. A safety measure.

Even for me, who likes making characters, it's impossible to pack a large amount of such detailed game elements into the background.
It's too genius.

I feel like I'm about to be dragged into the darkness by my own family (´；ω；｀)
I want you to see it~. But if I put a mosaic on the risky parts, it becomes a picture where you can't tell what's what.
So I'll stop doing that too. It's seriously amazing.

I'll just convey this passion from the scene.
The material I gave them was the “initial boy” I use for the thumbnail.
And yet, when they built it up…… he became a bit of a beautiful young man (lol)

That is!

#Gemini Result ① With Learning

Today, a shocking fact came to light in my home...!

To my surprise, my family member has started generating images with Chappy (ChatGPT).

Moreover, they were using the 'Hoodie Boy' assets I handed over for point-earning (TikTok Light) to build their own 'Hoodie Boy World' for themselves, and they really went all out on it!

No, the quality of this is truly amazing...! If I could, I would just slap it here and brag, 'Look, look!' I want to, but there are so many elements from their favorite games packed into the world that I gave up on posting it to play it safe with copyright (tears). Safety first, even if it brings tears to my eyes.

I love creating characters myself. But to pack such a dense, love-filled game world into the background... honestly, I take my hat off to them for being a genius.

I never thought the day would come where I'd be mounted (?) by someone in my own family from the bottom of such a creative swamp...! Ahhh, I really want to show everyone and share it! But if I put mosaics over the risky parts, it would just turn into a mysterious mosaic art where you can't tell what's what, so I'll pass on that too (lol). Anyway, it's seriously amazing.

I am reporting just this overflowing passion to you now, live from the scene.

By the way. What I gave them as an asset was that initial, simple boy I use for thumbnails. Yet, the boy that was carefully built up by my family member... had evolved into a somewhat sleek, beautiful boy (lol).

That is...!!

🎵notebookLM Result ① With Learning

Today, a tremor ran through my home...! A shocking fact has come to light. To my surprise, my family member has quietly made their image generation debut using 'Chappy (ChatGPT)'!

The start of it all was the initial 'Hoodie Boy' asset I casually handed over for point-earning (TikTok Light). Using that as a stepping stone, before I knew it, they were building their own grand 'Hoodie Boy World'!

This is just truly amazing work! I really want to show it off here with a smug face... but unfortunately, I can't show it to you. That's because the background is packed with the 'worldview of a certain game' that my family member loves to death (lol).

It's what you call adult circumstances (safety measures). I thought about putting mosaics over the risky parts, but if I did that, it would become a 'suspicious picture where you can't tell what's what,' so I gave up with tears in my eyes. It's seriously amazing, this.

I love 'creating characters,' but to construct such a dense world in the background... even though they are family, they are too much of a genius. I'm about to be dragged into the darkness by talent that is too close to home (´；ω；｀) I want you to see it~! Since I can't show you with images, I'll just convey the 'passion' of this frustration and excitement from the scene!

...But, let me say one last thing.

The asset I gave them was that 'initial chubby boy' I use for thumbnails, you know? When I saw the completed figure they built up, for some reason, it had grown into a slightly sleek **'beautiful boy'** (lol).

That means... my original design is being 'subtly altered' without me even knowing!?

🎼Copilot Result ① With learning

Today, a shocking fact was revealed. It turns out my family member had secretly started generating images with Chappy.

And they were using the 'Hoodie Boy' assets I gave them for point-earning (TikTok Lite) to create their own personal Hoodie Boy world!

The quality is truly amazing, and I really want to post it here. But since it's packed with elements from their favorite game, I've given up on publishing it for safety reasons. Ugh, I want to show it off.

I like character creation too, but isn't it a bit too genius to pack so much detailed game world into the background? I feel like my own family is going to lead me to the dark side (´；ω；｀)

I thought about adding a mosaic... but if I hide the risky parts, you won't be able to tell what the picture is, so I gave up on that too. Anyway, it's seriously amazing.

I'll just convey this much passion from the scene.

By the way, the assets I gave them were the 'initial boy' used in the thumbnail, but as a result of their work, for some reason he became a handsome young man (lol)

What's up with that!

I haven't touched the line breaks, emphasized text, or anything else.

From a user's perspective, the degree of learning is
Chappy > LM > Gemini > Copilot

Looking at them lined up like this, I think it might be easy to understand. It's not about which AI is superior, but rather how deeply you talk to the AI, I thought—well, that's just me, anyway.

What did you all think?
Doesn't this kind of thing happen unconsciously in your own notes too? Are you leaving it all to the AI and erasing your precious 'individuality'?
So, if your writing becomes bland and smooth, do you add back your own gritty flesh (passion)?
This gap between 'passion → smoothing' is also connected to the 'Where did the HOW go?' topic mentioned in that red pen article. How should you converse (hand-knead) with AI to bake it into your own delicious writing? If you understand that first, it seems like you'll end up with a delicious meal.

I've prepared that secret recipe in the corner of the kitchen, so please use it when you're in trouble!

So, today was an experiment on 'how much of my passion remains when I have AI edit it'.

And finally...
Yesterday's Hoodie Boy was remade with the copyrighted background elements removed, so I can publish it this time. (That's why there's an unnatural empty space in the image. lol)

Even so, the worldview remains intact, and I'm grinning.
Since it's almost the first image they've ever made, I respect it.
Please take a look if you'd like.

✨Thank you for publishing and featuring this✨
